erniew Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Would be interesting to find out if he jumped or was pushed. That's providing that he has actually left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris116 Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Where has it been announced that he has left? Certainly not on the BSPA or Newcastle sites when I looked a minute ago! Is this inside information or fake news? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I have been released from my duties as Newcastle Speedway Team Manager. May I wish the club and the riders all the best for the season ahead and beyond. There’s been no falling out. Just sometimes decisions have to be made, even if it’s ones we don’t like!"

Thank you for the information Steve, sad news but I suspect we can all guess what has caused this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leander Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Rob is certainly ruffling a lot of feathers to say the least. At the first social do after the takeover he categorically stated the all the existing staff/volunteers would be retained. Yet, six weeks to the start of the season ALL of the "front" volunteers (i.e. turnstile operators, program sellers, etc.) were told that their services were not required this season. Without explanation, as far as I'm aware. Most of whom have been there for ten years or more. Personally I think that's a disgrace. If they were employed they would have strong grounds for unfair dismissal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yearbyred Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 What are the “unforeseen circumstances” that means you replace a team manager before the season starts? Not that the season will be starting any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
